Make sure the laptop is not powering down the USB controllers. Go to the control panel, select Power Options and on the option that you are using, click on the "Change Plan Settings" hyperlink. On the next scene click on the Change advanced power settings hyperlink.
In the scroll box scroll down until you see USB Settings, then expand it. Expand the USB Selective suspend option section then disable the setting. Now you can click OK and close everything until you get to the top page of the Cointrol Panel items. Then click on Device Manager. In the Device Manager's list of devices, click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers. For each item designated as Hub, double click on it and in its dialog window, select Power Management and make sure to uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox. Click OK Once you have done this for each Hub, now see if the problem persists.. 73 Neal On Nov 24, 2012, at 7:27 AM, G0DDX <g0...@btinternet.com> wrote: > My Flex has recently just started to go into transmit (i.e. MOX goes active > on its own). > > It appears only to do it when switched to CW.
